'Hot' Eva Longoria show picked up by NBC

SAN ANTONIO – NBC-TV has officially announced the pick-up of a new prime-time comedy starring San Antonio’s adopted star Eva Longoria.

However, viewers will have to wait until next year to see “Hot & Bothered.”

The show — starring Longoria (“Desperate Housewives”) as Ana Sofia, the diva-like star of a telenovela who constantly battles for the white-hot spotlight — won’t be part of the peacock network’s fall lineup.

The comedy will bow instead in midseason, 2016.

The Sunday announcement described the NBC show this way: “If you think the steamy sex, sensational scandals and wrenching heartbreak on Latino soap operas are a little extreme, just wait until you see what happens behind the scenes.

Also of interest to S.A. viewers. . .NBC will bring back Alamo City-set medical drama “The Night Shift” for a third season next year.

In addition, NBC announced a midseason run for the revival of “Coach,” which has Craig T. Nelson reprising his lead role as Hayden Fox. In the new “Coach,” Nelson’s character will help his son with a fledgling Ivy League football team.
